Topic/Training Tuesdays
How can you give your students meaningful feedback that they engage with and use to learn? How can you do it in larger classes? Come share your ideas in a discussion about how we can balance giving feedback and making it count. What has worked for you? What do you want to try. How can CANVAS or other technology help? Everyone is welcome, so please come, even if you just want to hear what others are doing. We will have tea and snacks and an hour of sharing ideas.
If you’d like a chance to better understand how students might be using AI tools in your classes, hear how fellow faculty are addressing AI use in their classes, or share what you’re already trying out it when it comes to AI, then please join us for this session! All are welcome, and please bring your questions, ideas and suggestions to share.
Do you want to provide your students with a space for effective peer-to-peer interaction and learning in your classes? Having trouble reaching students with your current communication method? Meet your students where they're at! Join this session to learn more about Pronto, Cañada College's communication platform fully integrated with Canvas. We will focus on the basics and how to take engagement and student success to the next level. You will be able to access Pronto in both Canvas and the mobile app and have an understanding of how Pronto is set up, along with best practices for getting started!

Conversation with Colleagues/Workshop Wednesdays
Microaggressions are subtle or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group(s) that are linked to systems of oppression. Theater of the Oppressed allows us to role play, discuss, and practice interrupting oppressive situations. This interactive workshop will specifically focus on microaggression scenarios that can (and have!) happened in our classrooms and workspaces, and give us space to unpack and practice how we can interrupt the situations so that students and faculty feel safe, seen, and heard. Microaggressions can create a hostile or discriminatory environment in our college community and can negatively affect brain chemistry with long term effects on cognition. So let’s practice how to interrupt and even avoid them!
